This article by Marentette and Uhrick looked mostly at how we learn and the way imagery plays an important role in reinforcing verbal information. The authors of this article were informing their readers on the way we learn and the positive impact technology can play on this. This article quotes research from many various sources as well as giving ideas in which Interactive whiteboards (IWB)'s are being used in education. The authors made good points and used quotes by academics and provided links to the studies or programs to support their points. However most of these studies were supporting the authors argument ie that multimedia presentations enhance student engagement and the author made the link to (IWB's). This article appears to be from quite reparable sources although I found it at a link on a product website (distributors for smartboards). This article has been a good place to start as it makes a compelling argument for the benefits digital media and the varying ways in which schools can accommodate this through (IWB's).
